Natta Adavu in Bharatanatyam (Part Nine)

[Rbharatnatyam]

Can I hold right hand two fingers while doing right and left hand two fingers while doing left ?

While crossing hands ie Tai Hi Can I have right arm front while doing right side and left arm front while doing left side so that both the shoulder blades are stretched evenly ?

[nandananjali]

@Rbharatnatyam yes, you could

[Rbharatnatyam]

In the 13th variation

1. Should we always hold two fingers of our right hand no matter whether we are doing on right side or left side ? or Should we hold right hand two fingers while doing right and left hand two fingers while doing left ?

2. While crossing hands ie Tai Hi should we always bring right arm front that is close to chest ? or should we have right arm front while doing right side and left arm front while doing left side ?

I would appreciate if can explain the moves more elaborate.

[nandananjali]

@Rbharatnatyam, I do it just one way irrespective of what side I started.

hI...i started learning dance at a teacher after i saw your videos for a while.And i still watch ures to recollect the steps in my dance class.This step my teacher told us a little diff.

At second Taiyum when you jump, we jump on flat foot with legs straight instead of on toes in aramandala position,like u do.Are there two variations?Anything is right?

[nandananjali]

Yes this step is also done like you said. It is just fine.
